Abstract
A method for determining a maintenance schedule for a vehicle may include receiving signals generated by a number of sensors built into specific locations on the vehicle, the number of sensors including a vibration sensor. The method may include identifying one or more indicators of a vibrating component of the vehicle based on features of the generated signals, transmitting information associated with the one or more indicators, and receiving a recommendation for servicing the vehicle. The method may include displaying a notification regarding the recommendation for servicing the vehicle.
Claims20
A method for determining a maintenance schedule for a vehicle, the method comprising:
- receiving, by a control module of the vehicle, signals generated by a plurality of sensors built into specific locations on the vehicle, the plurality of sensors comprising at least one vibration sensor;
- identifying, by the control module of the vehicle, one or more indicators of a vibrating component of the vehicle based on features of the generated signals by:
- applying a first transfer function to at least a portion of the generated signals to determine a strain-based wear on the vibrating component due to component strain;
- and
- applying a second transfer function, different from the first transfer function, to at least a portion of the generated signals to determine a vibration-based wear on the vibrating component due to component vibration;
- transmitting, by a telecommunications module of the vehicle to a vehicle data analysis system, information associated with the one or more indicators;
- receiving, by the telecommunications module of the vehicle from the vehicle data analysis system, a recommendation for servicing the vehicle, wherein the recommendation is based on a prediction related to the one or more indicators and is identified by the vehicle data analysis system;
- and
- displaying, by a user interface module of the vehicle, a notification regarding the recommendation for servicing the vehicle.
A vehicle system for determining a maintenance schedule for a vehicle comprising:
- a vibration sensor built into a specific location on the vehicle;
- a display;
- and
- one or more computing devices comprising:
- one or more non-transitory computer-readable storage media including instructions;
- and
- one or more processors coupled to the one or more storage media, the one or more processors configured to execute the instructions to:
- receive signals generated by the vibration sensor;
- identify one or more indicators of a vibrating component of the vehicle based on features of the generated signals by:
- applying a first transfer function to at least a portion of the generated signals to determine a strain-based wear on the vibrating component due to component strain;
- and
- applying a second transfer function, different from the first transfer function, to at least a portion of the generated signals to determine a vibration-based wear on the vibrating component due to component vibration;
- transmit to a vehicle data analysis system information associated with the one or more indicators;
- receive from the vehicle data analysis system a recommendation for servicing the vehicle, wherein the recommendation is based on a prediction related to the one or more indicators and is identified by the vehicle data analysis system;
- and
- display, via the display, a notification regarding the recommendation for servicing the vehicle.
A non-transitory computer-readable medium comprising instructions that, when executed by one or more processors of one or more computing devices, cause the one or more processors to:
- receive signals generated by a vibration sensor built into a specific location on a vehicle;
- identify one or more indicators of a vibrating component of the vehicle based on features of the generated signals by:
- applying a first transfer function to at least a portion of the generated signals to determine a strain-based wear on the vibrating component due to component strain;
- and
- applying a second transfer function, different from the first transfer function, to at least a portion of the generated signals to determine a vibration-based wear on the vibrating component due to component vibration;
- transmit to a vehicle data analysis system information associated with the one or more indicators;
- receive from the vehicle data analysis system a recommendation for servicing the vehicle, wherein the recommendation is based on a prediction related to the one or more indicators and is identified by the vehicle data analysis system;
- and
- display, via a display of the vehicle, a notification regarding the recommendation for servicing the vehicle.
